On behalf of James, Marley, and myself, please accept our sincere appreciation for the many gifts of support and acts of love we have received. It is through your generosity that we are able to take the time to grieve and spend much needed time together as a family. Thank you.

With love,
Megan, James, and Marley Watson

We are a go for this Saturday, December 7th to plant all the wonderful bulbs that have been collected to remember Charlotte and her fierce, colorful spirit in Belmont Park. We will be working from 9am-12pm, rain or shine. Show up early, and bring any shovels, trowels, bulb planters, and dandelion weeders you have to help with the planting. We will be working in the daylily bed along the west side of the park, and at the bed around the Belmont Park sign in the southeast corner. We will have folks at each location to give you direction once you arrive.

Please spread the word and encourage people you know who would like to support the Watsons. The more people we have, the faster we will get the bulbs planted.

Thanks to all for your interest, and most especially to the Watsons for opening themselves up to us being a part of this process with them. Megan, James, and other family members are coming Saturday to remember Charlotte, so let’s show up in force to be there with them.

The Watsons have a great deal of food on hand at the moment for which they are very grateful. Please, for the time being, no more gifts of food.

If you brought more dishes and utensils to the celebration at Belmont Park than you went home with, you might find your missing items on the front porch of 707 Altavista Ave.

A group will be gathering at the Charlottesville Mennonite Church this Wednesday evening to discuss plans for a remembrance garden. See the Garden page for more details.

Kindly,
Friends of the Watson Family
